A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographical data. The key word to this technology is Geography – this means that some portion of the data is spatial. In other words, data that is in some way referenced to locations on the earth.
GIS mapping of properties was introduced a year ago. But the plans seems to be proceeding now when three firms made a presentation before the Delhi Municipal Corporation on its execution and implementation. The firms talked about how a survey would be conducted and digitalization of tax collection. A Request for Proposal (RFO) would be seeked from technical experts to have secure method of data protection. DMC hopes that the new system will increase its tax base from 40% households to 100% and its tax collection by more than three times. GIS is technology is presently being used in various sectors including electrification and rural health missions. Cities like Hyderabad have been using GIS to collect taxes as well.
Though details like the fund and deadline of the project haven’t been decided yet, DMC now hopes to implement the technology by the end of this year.
